Portable Two-Way Radios and Accessories

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 2, is soliciting quotations for 52 Motorola APX 8000 All Band Portable Model 2.5 radios with associated software modules, batteries, accessories, and installation services, with quotations due September 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST, and questions due September 21 at 11:00 AM EST. This is an unrestricted procurement under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items, though market research and initial structuring as a small business set-aside were reversed when Motorola Solutions Inc., a large business, emerged as the sole responsive source meeting compatibility and security requirements.

Place of performance is Montrose, New York. The procurement requires 52 Motorola APX 8000 radios configured for 700/800 MHz, VHF, and UHF frequency bands; ASTRO Digital CAI operation; P25 9600 Baud trunking; TDMA and SmartZone operation; GPS/GLONASS tracking; Bluetooth; encryption; text messaging; and over-the-air programming capability. The contractor must provide device programming and code plug development; the government will not furnish the system key, fleet map, or existing code plug. Accessories include 20 IMPRES 2 lithium-ion batteries, 10 earpieces with microphone and push-to-talk, 52 portable RSM units, 52 replacement swivel belt loops, and 9 desktop multi-unit chargers. Delivery is required within 60 days of award to VA Hudson Valley HCS-Montrose, Building 17 Warehouse, 2094 Albany Post Road. The period of performance is two months, firm-fixed-price. NAICS code 334220 applies; small business size standard is 1,250 employees. Evaluation weighs technical capability and delivery capability significantly more important than price. Quotations must remain firm for 60 calendar days and include statements accepting or identifying exceptions to solicitation terms.
